Hi guys,

I'm working on my ultimate bis set. Looking at warcraft logs, strong majority of balance druids use a combination of: Hood of the Slithering Loa, Pauldrons of the Great Convergence and Darkheart Robe.

But simming shows me 1,2k dps increase with Gibbering Maw and Gorak Tul's Mantle instead of the above.

So basically it comes down to Blightborne Infusion vs Swirling Sands.

So a chance for a bigger crit proc for a longer duration (in theory) vs a lesser crit proc for a shorter duration that can be increased above the blightborne infusion duration.

So I have top balance druid using one, and sims telling me to use another. Could anyone help me understand why the top druids are using this one?
